"This is me growing up as an Akira Kurosawa fan, a Star Wars fan,” Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter. "It’s my love of sci-fi and a giant adventure. My hope is that this also becomes a massive IP and a universe that can be built out."
Rebel Moon originated as a Star Wars concept that Snyder pitched to Lucasfilm before Disney purchased the company in 2012. The spin-off was conceived as a follow-up to the events of Return of the Jedi, with new Jedi warriors setting out on a dangerous mission. While the project never came to fruition, Snyder confirmed that he was reworking the premise into an original film back in May.
The year is 2069. The Earth is under the peaceful control of the UN. The New World Order has brought about peace, is feeding everybody and is getting things done. Almost. The Moon is helping feed the Earth (just like in many sci-fi stories) by growing food and using gravity to delivery it. But they're getting sick of paying for the air, working under bad conditions and dealing with the corrupt colonial offcials. -snip
I was confused how they could cram all of that into a single film and then the 2 parts came up...
Anyway, Snyder certainly knows how to make a trailer. The real question is whether or not the story and characters will be any good. Should be good visually at least.
